If you grew up in the 1980s, congratulations - you're officially old enough to get nostalgic about everything. From candy that tasted like crayons to furniture that somehow existed in every single house in America, the 80s were truly a different era.

This was the decade where safety was optional, neon was mandatory, and the height of luxury was instant cappuccino from a tin. We drank sugar, worshipped Bob Barker whenever we were home sick, and collected weird looking stickers that we proudly placed in an album.

These throwbacks are for the ones who still remember the satisfying clack of the VCR buttons, the smell of a freshly opened pack of bubble gum baseball cards, and the thrill of watching Saturday morning cartoons with zero irony.

Prepare to feel ancient - but in the best possible way.
